Technology & Safety

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety awards the S60 its highest rating: "Top Safety Pick Plus" for 2022. This rating is given in recognition of the S60's exceptional performance in IIHS driver and passenger-side small overlap frontal, moderate overlap frontal, side impact, roof strength, and head restraint tests, as well as its standard vehicle-to-vehicle front crash prevention system, optional vehicle-to-pedestrian front crash prevention system, and its standard headlight's "Good" rating. The AMG CLA has not yet undergone testing.

The Volvo S60's front seat shoulder belts may be raised or lowered to meet a broad range of driver and passenger heights for increased safety. An improved fit may reduce injuries, and the greater comfort encourages occupants to use their seatbelts. There are no height-adjustable seat belts available on the Mercedes AMG CLA.

Performance

The 2022 Volvo S60 T8's 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine is housed under the hood. This car's engine can produce up to 472 lb-ft of torque and 400 horsepower at its peak efficiency.
